Backporting fix for #199981 to 4.19.y?

Hi there,

I'm running Debian Buster on an old Asus EeePC and I see the battery
always at 100% when unplugged, with an estimated battery life of 4200
hours, no matter how long I've been using it without AC power.

I suspect this might be bug #201351, marked as duplicate of #199981 and
fixed in 5.0-rc1. Would you please consider backporting it to the 4.19
LTS kernel?

Salvatore Bonaccorso of the Debian Kernel Team wrote me on debian-kernel
they follow the upstream 4.19.y, so the best chance of getting the fix
in Debian is for you to include the patch.

Many thanks,
Laurențiu
